Etsy and Buyer Privacy Concerns

Etsy, the site in which I currently sell my work is changing a lot. The recently have recieved some bad press in regards to buyer privacy issues. Making all buyers now searchable by user name or real name on the site. They recently tried to combat this by making all feedback private and making it clear when you sign up that you have a choice in whether to display your real name or not on your user account.

I want my buyers to feel confident and secure in making a purchase from me. If you in anyway do not feel comfortable with registering or creating an account on Etsy to make a purchase, I ask that you please contact me through my blog or my facebook fanpage .

Now, done with the yuckky stuff:) Meet Melissa, shes looking for a new home...her current one is not the best.

Hi!I am a bit concerned with this privacy thing too though.I have been includedin lots of circles lately ( which is very flatttering) but, now, it seems that everybody knows who buys what. Unless you don't leave a feedback. :-(
